hello,

so i've been trying to earn isk since i came back to eve this week by doing the usual stuff, running combat sites and doing ghost sites and sleeper caches but since i came back, i nver got a decent drop of loot which is weird because i found a lot of sites ... always a ****** drop of loot...

more than 10 lesser covert research i found, none of them have any implant bpc !!!!!!!!! (i scanned all the containers btw).

phi-outpost and narcotic warhouses combat sites don't drop good loot anymore ?? i've done around 10 sites of those .

so i wanted to ask you, am i the only one having this bad luck ?? or did ccp change some drop rate or something ??


i need answers,
it can't be just blind luck,

I just got a Gila blueprint from a scout outpost and some nice B-type modules from a hallucinogen site. Drops are random.

rng is r.

also, 10 sample size best sample size.

I did not one, but TWO DED 10/10s last night and only made 600 mil isk total for less than 30 minutes of effort. In my experience(which is both vast and all encompassing), 10/10s are supposed to drop 72 gazzillion isk every time you just get the expedition pop up (that's not counting the 2 free all-expenses paid tickets to next year's fanfest that's supposed to drop in the last room)!!!

I demand CCP investigation into why I'm not getting my due! I also demand that someone lock my liquor cabinet before i make another post like this.

You know full well that since there's a new thread on this you're about to make bank.

No, its not. Its a programmed algorithm that is totally deterministic. This, if CCP were to make a programming error, there could well be odd, very non-random results.

But a sample size of 10 really is too small to make such a call.

It is bad luck. I happened upon two coverts today and got two bpcs.

Crack on.

While RNG is R, with a larger sample size you can make guesstimated statements and it does seem to be that overall there's been a drop in drops. Can't really pinpoint when it happened but I'd stick to "fairly recently".

5. Trolling is prohibited.

Trolling is a defined as a post that is deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting other players in an attempt to incite retaliation or an emotional response. Posts of this nature are disruptive, often abusive, and do not contribute to the sense of community that CCP promote.


I have removed the Offending Posts, and those quoting them.

there is also a % of drop to some items, so while R in rng is R, if there are 10 items in the database, 1 is set to 50%, 9 are set to 9 are set to 5% and 1 is set to 1% the 1% will drop way less then the rest.

OP: just bad luck dude
